India spoil Bangladesh’s party DHAKA, Nov 13 (PTI) — In an
anti-climax, India today comprehensively defeated Bangladesh by nine
wickets after an unusually brilliant bowling performance to spoil the
home team’s party in their inaugural Test. Having batted extremely well to make 400 in their first innings, Bangladesh were skittled out for a mere 91 in the second innings in a match that will be remembered for two reasons — the home team’s debut and a tremendous all-round display by India’s Sunil Joshi who top scored with 92 and took eight wickets in the match. After all the hiccups, India managed to establish a lead of 29 runs with Joshi unlucky to miss his maiden Test hundred by eight runs. For Bangladesh, off spinner Naimur Rahman took a creditable six wickets conceding 132 runs. India achieved the victory target of 63, by actually scoring 64 for the loss of opener S. Ramesh before the close of the extended play on the fourth day. Despite a pathetic batting display in the second innings which led to their defeat, Bangladesh can derive a great deal of satisfaction from their debut. Aminul Islam’s century in the first innings which led to a total of 400 and Naimur Rahman’s rich haul augur well for them. The domination enjoyed by the rookies was too good to be true and the Indians, 366 for seven overnight, slowly extricated themselves from the mess they had made of their fortunes in this Test. Joshi, who was associated in the seventh wicket stand of 121 runs with his skipper Saurav Ganguly yesterday, carried on the good work in partnership with Ajit Agarkar (34). They had their task cut out. The first target was the 400 mark which they made sure that they crossed in their 56 run partnership. But, when just eight runs short of the magical three-figure mark, Karnataka all-rounder suffered a lapse in concentration and lofted a Rafique delivery to mid-off where Al Shariar took the catch. Joshi’s career-best 92 contained nine delightful hits to the fence and he narrowly missed emulating the feat of two great Indians - Vinoo Mankad (against England at Lords in 1952) and Polly Umrigar (against the West Indies at Port of Spain in 1962) — of scoring a century and taking five wickets in the same innings of a Test match. In a fine spell of furious pace bowling, Srinath had opener Shariar Hossain (7) ducking into a short-pitched delivery and retiring with a hurt left shoulder. From the other end, young Zaheer Khan forced Mehrab Hossain (2) playing a loose stroke outside his off-stump and Murali Kartik brought off a low catch at point. Wispy Ajit Agarkar then got into the act removing Habibul Bashar (30), caught by Zaheer Khan, and trapping centurian of the first knock (6) leg before wicket and the home team were 43 for three. By tea break, Bangladesh lost two more wickets, that of Al Shariar (6), who gave a return catch to Joshi after being promoted ahead of his former skipper Akram Khan (2) who himself was caught by Shiv Sunder Das off the left-arm spinner. The hosts never recovered on resumption. Hossain returned and was promptly trapped leg before the wicket by Joshi for seven and Srinath returned to the attack to get rid of Nairmur Rahman (3) and Rafique (4), both caught by skipper Ganguly.

Harbhajan’s spell
rocks Haryana AMRITSAR, Nov 13 — Fine rearguard action by Punjab bowlers, particularly by off-spinner Harbhajan Singh, put Haryana in the dock on the penultimate day in the four-day North Zone Ranji Trophy league match at the Gandhi Ground here today. Harbhajan easily emerged the best bowler of the day. Maintaining a tight line and length he did bulk of the bowling and by the time the play ended he had four wickets in his kitty, leaving the visitors struggling at 247 for the loss of seven wickets, still 89 runs short to make Punjab bat again in their second innings. In fact, Haryana batsmen — going by the type of display they gave in the first two sessions of the day — promised much. Starting from the overnight score of 41 for one they batted admirably. Padamjit Sehrawat and Ishan Ganda negotiated the rival bowling attack well and added 96 runs to the total before lunch without losing any wicket. Gagandeep and Bhushan strove hard to unsettle the batsmen but the efforts proved futile. Sehrawat gradually grew in confidence and was the dominant batsman in the fruitful partnership between the two. Rotating the strike well he reached 83 at lunch. Ishan, on the other hand was content to defend as he added just 32 to his individual score during the first two hours of the day. Sandeep Sawal was hit for 15 runs as he was introduced into the attack after the lunch break. Reetinder Sodhi achieved the vital breakthrough for the team scalping Sehrawat when the batsman was 12 short of a century. Sehrawat was lucky earlier as he was dropped in the slips off the same bowler in the very first over of the day. This 120 run stand for the second wicket proved to be the brightest spot for the visitors during the day. Skipper Parinder Sharma looked good during his stay at the wicket. But his innings was cut short by Harbhajan, having him caught behind, at the tea break. Haryana at 200 for three not in a bad situation. But the post tea session proved disastrous for the visitors as they lost four more wickets before the end of the day’s play. Ganda left a Gagandeep delivery only to see his stumps shattered. His 300-minute stay at the wicket fetched him 67 runs. Harbhajan then dealt a twin blow getting rid of experienced Rajesh Puri and young wicketkeeper Ajay Ratra at the same score. Sanjay Dalal and Amit Mishra survived some anxious moments as Bhushan and Sodhi bowled in tandem with the new ball. When it appeared that they would see off the day’s play without further damage, Bhushan got his lone wicket of the match, sending Sanjay back after he was caught in the slips. With just three wickets in hand and the target not easy Haryana batsmen will be required to show discipline and application when the last day’s play resumes on the morrow to at least salvage a draw. Scoreboard: Punjab (1st inning):

Captain’s knock by Kanitkar FARIDABAD, Nov 13 (PTI) —
Hrishikesh Kanitkar played a captain’s knock to lead Board President’s
XI to a healthy 314 for five on the opening day of their three-day tie
against Zimbabwe here today. Kanitkar’s unbeaten 118 was the highlight of the Board President’s XI innings which also saw handsome contributions from Virendra Sehwag (60), Vijay Dahiya (50) and Hemang Badani (35) as Zimbabwe bowlers were unable to contain the scoring despite picking up regular wickets. Kanitkar was associated in two important partnerships -108 runs for the fourth wicket with Sehwag and an unfinished 51-run stand for the sixth wicket with Abhijit Kale — as the batsmen completely dominated the proceedings. Kanitkar’s 190-ball knock contained 14 boundaries and one six which brought up his century. Earlier, board XI had a subdued start after electing to bat and surprisingly sending in Vijay Dahiya to open the innings with Punjab youngster Ravneet Ricky. It took five overs for the home team to hit the first scoring shot when Ricky hit Henry Olonga for a four. Dahiya followed suit in the next over by Travis Friend to begin his flurry of shots all over the ground. Zimbabwe got the first breakthrough in the 13th over when Friend had Ricky caught by Trevor Madondo at second slip. Board President’s XI (first innings): Ravneet Ricky c Trevor b Travis Friend 0, Vijay Dahiya b Strang 50, Hemang Badani c Strang b Grant Flower 35, Kanitkar batting 118, Virendra Sewag c Olonga b Strang 60, Abbas Ali c Strang b Brian Murphy 16, Abhijit Kale batting 15. Extras: 15 (2 b, 3 lb, 10 nb) Total: 314 for five in 90 overs Fow: 1/30, 2/88, 3/119, 4/227, 5/263 Bowling: Henry Olonga 18-6-47-0,Travis Friend 12-3-33-1, Mluleki Nkala 11-2-44-0, Paul Strang 20-4-59-3, Murphy 16-2-75-1, G flower 13-1-46-0. |

Windies need ‘more application’ PERTH, Nov 13 (AFP) — West Indies coach Roger Harper has urged his team’s batsmen to show more application in Australia this summer after the tourists’ mixed batting in their opening first-class match. Harper said here today he was unhappy with innings totals of 132 and 293 as the Windies lost by seven wickets to Western Australia on the fourth day of the match at the WACA ground yesterday. He was severely critical of the lack of application of his batsmen in the first innings and disappointed they failed to build on starts in the second. Vice-captain Sherwin Campbell was the shining light with a seven-hour 119 in the second innings, but he was among the failures in the first-day collapse as the Windies lost 4-29. “Our problem is still putting it together in the first innings and that was our main downfall here,” Harper said. “Scoring 132 in the first innings of Test matches just won’t cut it. We know that every game we play here will be tough and we have to play tough cricket and show a lot more character than we did in that first innings. “I think we need to apply ourselves a little better and in this case we didn’t adapt and adjust quickly enough to the extra pace and bounce of the WACA pitch after having to bat first.” Western Australian skipper Tom Moody predicted a long summer for the Windies, but said the squad would take some positives from the match. “It’s a hard introduction for any touring side to play at the WACA first-up, particularly the way it was playing because it was a quick, bouncy wicket,” he said. The Windies have only one more first-class match in which to lift their game, a four-day clash with Victoria, before the first Test begins at the Gabba, in Brisbane on Thursday. They were heading to Alice Springs today for a one-day match against a Ricky Ponting-led Northern Territory Invitation XI tomorrow. Harper has been cagey on the make-up of the team, but he has not ruled out playing champion veteran paceman Courtney Walsh for the first time on tour. Team management says Walsh will definitely play against Victoria from Friday, along with star batsman Brian Lara, Nixon McLean and Ridley Jacobs. All four were rested from the Perth clash. The tourists need the stars to hit their straps after the new brigade found the going tough in Perth. |

Match-fixing inquiry NEW DELHI, Nov 13 — The former Delhi captain Ajay Sharma would be questioned by the special commissioner appointed by the BCCI and former CBI Joint Director, Mr K. Madhavan here tomorrow. And, the former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin is likely to get final summons to appear before the commission. Talking to The Tribune, Mr Madhavan said he would serve fresh summons to the former Indian captain Azharuddin to appear before the commission to present his side of the case. “If he fails the appear, I may be forced to go by the evidence available with the CBI,” Mr Madhavan said. Azharuddin had not appeared before the commission on the plea that he did not have a copy of the CBI report, Mr Madhavan said, adding that a copy of the report has now been given to him. Of the five cricketers indicted by the CBI in the betting and match-fixing report, former all-rounder Manoj Prabhakar, wicketkeeper Nayan Mongia, middle-order batsman Ajay Jadeja and the physio Dr Ali Irani have appeared before the commission. The former CBI official said: “Ajay Sharma has stated that he would present himself tomorrow for questioning.” Clarifying on the reports that he would summon the captain of 1983 World Cup team Kapil Dev and little master Sachin Tendulkar, Mr Madhavan said “I only stated that if the need arises, I would not hesitate to call them.” Apart from the CBI report, he said “I have seen the evidence collected by the investigating agency. Even the players have passed on certain evidence including the secret recording of conversations of
cricketers by Manoj Prabhakar.” Agreeing that bookies could throw much light in the whole episode, Mr Madhavan said they were unlikely to cooperate. “Even if I call them, they would not come and give evidence, as they are not bound by the BCCI,” he said. Asked when the report would be presented to the cricketing body, he said: “I will give my report a few days before the BCCI meeting in Calcutta on November 29.” Stating that the report would not be binding on the BCCI, the former CBI Joint Director said “it is upto the BCCI to make the report public or not.” Since match-fixing did not come under Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, making it difficult to initiate legal proceedings against those named by the CBI, Mr Madhavan said he could add some new recommendations to the BCCI, like the cricketing body urging to government to introduce laws to curb misconduct by cricketers. The BCCI chief Mr A.C. Muthaiah, has said the board’s working committee will take a final decision on the fate of “indicted” players by the month-end after Mr Madhavan completes his inquiry and makes recommendations. The CBI report on match-fixing and other related malpractices had indicted these five players of indulging in match-fixing and betting lured by bookies. Mr Madhavan, who had been appointed by the BCCI to study the CBI report and examine the “tainted” players and officials and give suitable recommendations for taking action, would also question some cricket board officials. All the players named in the CBI report have been banned from playing both international and domestic cricket pending inquiry by Mr Madhavan. |

Indian men finish eighth ISTANBUL, Nov 13 (PTI) — India’s only woman grandmaster S. Vijayalakshmi added another first to her long list of achievements by bagging the individual silver medal in the 34th Chess Olympiad which concluded here last night. The Indian men ousted Cuba 2.5-1.5 to get a creditable eigth position in the 7-13 standings on 33 points. The Russians played a friendly draw with Georgia to emerge as clear victors in the men’s section with 38 points while the Chinese won the gold in the women’s event on 32 points. The Indian women had a fruitful day too as they managed to slip into the top 15 with a convincing 2.5-0.5 victory over lithuania. This victory took India to 24 points. Russia did not have to do much against Georgia and none of the games on any board lasted for more than 20 moves. The silver medal went to erstwhile leaders Germany who accounted for England by 2.5-1.5 margin. Ukraine pipped Hungary at the post in the race for the bronze medal. The untiring Vijayalakshmi played her 14th game in succession yesterday and there wasn’t even an element of tiredness in her attitude. She drew her game against V-Cmilyte. The game took shape in the samisch variation of the kings Indian defence where the former had white. Vijayalakshmi did not have much difficulty in equalising in the middlegame but in a chancy endgame that lasted 101 moves the truce was finally signed. S Minakshi showed immense determination to beat R Varniene. Playing against the Slav defence Minakshi outmanoeuvred her opponent from a seemingly drawn queen and pawn endgame. This game too exceeded the 100 move barrier and lasted 108 moves. On the third board Saheli Barua defeated L Domarkaite to help her team finish on a positive note. GM K Sasikiran played another fine game and outclassed former world junior champion Walter Arencibia from the black side of a double Fianchetto game. Handling the black pieces Sasikiran entered complications at the first instance and calculated much better in the ensuing complications to register a smooth victory after 53 moves. On the second board GM Abhijit Kunte went for the blood in the king’s Indian attack and defeated L- Bruzon. After the opening Bruzon got a theoretically balanced position but appeared all at sea soon after. In the middlegame Kunte struck on the king side with a knight sacrifice and it was all over. IM Harikrishna remained unconquered in the Olympiad with another draw against higher opposition today. Playing his favourite French with black pieces, Harikrishna got a level position but mistimed his counter attack to get into a near mess. An exchange sacrifice by him kept harikrishna in the game there after and some excellent resourceful play saved the day. GM Dibyendu Barua could not find his magic touch and surprisingly lost against the Petroff defence, of which he is considered an exponent, of R. Perez. Perez punished a few lacklustre moves by Barua after getting an equal middlegame and won a pawn. The resulting queen and pawns endgame did not have much scope for Barua. |

Losers bitter as Doha launches Asiad plans PUSAN, Nov 13 (AFP) — Amidst bitter recriminations by the losers, Doha today launched its billion dollar plus plans for the Asian games in 2006. The Qatar capital scored a shock victory in the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) vote yesterday to secure the event. The favourites, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong, condemned broken promises and the voting system for their loss. Sieh Kok Chi, secretary-general of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM), said he suspected “dirty tricks” but would not say what they were. OCM president Prince Imran Tuanku Jaafar was more explicit when he said “money talks” in the vote. “There were a lot of broken promises,” said Sieh. “People told us one thing and then did another. These are friends, people we have known for years. But now we have a fair idea of who our friends are.” He and Hong Kong government Chief Secretary Anson Chan criticised the secret ballot. Doha won 22 votes in a second round runoff with 13 going to Kuala Lumpur and six to Hong Kong. New Delhi was eliminated in the first round. Mr Chan said the vote was “not open and transparent” while the Malaysian delegation said printed ballot forms should have been used. “These were blank papers and you had to write the name of the city you wanted. It was meant to be a secret ballot, but people could have recognised your writing,” said Sieh. But no official protests were made. The OCM secretary general said: “I think they (Doha) can do it. They have made some promises and I hope they keep them.” Pusan is to stage the 2002 Asian Games, the world’s second largest multi-sports event, which is held every four years. But the South Korean city had problems with the OCA over the shareout of marketing revenues which nearly led to a switch of the event. Doha has promised a $ 700 million luxury athletes’ village and other perks for Asian national Olympic committees. It is to spend another $ 300 million on new sports facilities. Speaking of the billion dollar bill, Sheikh Ahmad al-Fahad al-Sahab, president of the OCA, commented: “This is the amount of money we spend now on the Games.” The OCA leadership has expressed confidence that the Qatar capital, which has a population of just 500,000 can organise the event. It will be the smallest city to stage the Games. The OCA president, who comes from Kuwait, said the vote could help change the conservative and strongly Muslim Gulf states. He said: “This will be good for the development of sport in West Asia. There will be a lot of media, a lot of athletes and a lot of attention, a lot of new habits may be accepted in West Asia.” Qatar had given guarantees, he added, “There would be no problems for women to compete, even though women face strong restrictions in sport and the way they dress in the Gulf States. “A lot of Doha’s neighbours do not allow women to go swimming or to lay on the beach or whatever. But Doha have given us full assurances that all the sports will be allowed,” said al-Sabah. Sheikh Saud Khalid al-Thani, head of the Doha bid committee and a nephew of the emirate’s ruler, signed the host contract immediately after yesterday’s vote. The contract commits Doha to follow the OCA constitution, that includes an article on women’s rights. But the OCA will also have to sell the idea to the rest of Asia. It will be the first Games in West Asia since 1974 and the event has changed dramatically since. The Games now draw about 100 million dollars in sponsorship and television revenue. Mr Charlie Charters, vice president of ISL Asia Pacific, which markets the games to sponsors, said: “On the face of it will be an interesting challenge”. “Historically, the bulk of sponsors and the bulk of the value of the television deals have come from companies in East Asia and Southeast Asia and South Asia. “It is our understanding and our hope that by bringing the Games to the Middle East we will be able to discover a new level of sponsorship interest and a new level of television interest in the Middle East. Certainly that is what we are committed to do with the OCA,” declared Mr Charters. |

Indian batsman Ajit Agarkar (R) drives a ball off Naimur Rahman (not in picture) as wicketkeeper Khaled Masud (L) and other batsman Sunil Joshi (C) watch on the fourth day of the first ever Test in Dhaka's Bangabandhu Stadium on Monday. India scored 429 all out in the first innings.
